A postdoctoral position is available to work in the laboratory of Dr. Zoe Cournia at the
Biomedical Research Foundation, Academy of Athens, Greece.
The researcher will work on the allosteric regulation of proteins, identification of cryptic binding
pockets and performing computer-aided drug design. More specifically, the study focus is on
the structure and dynamics of mutated vs wild-type proteins in water and/or in association
with model membranes using unbiased and enhanced sampling Molecular Dynamics
simulations. Moreover, the postdoctoral researcher will work on binding affinity free energy
calculations and computer-aided drug design for targeting identified allosteric pockets.
The following qualifications are required:
Diploma and PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Pharmacy, Biology or related discipline
No more than 2 years after finishing PhD degree
EU nationality
Proven experience in computational chemistry and molecular simulation techniques
At least two first author publications
Programming experience
Excellent knowledge (written and spoken) of the English language
The position is announced for one year with the possibility for renewal and can commence
as soon as possible. Interested candidates please email a CV to zcournia~!~bioacademy.gr,
including the names of two referees and a letter of intent.
